“…On the other hand, increase in serum cortisol concentration has also been observed in wild ungulates subject to stressful management events (Arzamendia et al 2010;Carmanchahi et al 2011;Nuvoli et al 2014). There are no cortisol values reported in a Dwarf Red Brocket, but the values detected in the present report are higher than previously reported for another species in this genus (Munerato et al 2010), corroborating that serum cortisol can be used as a stress indicator in the species.…”

Capture myopathy is a common fatal syndrome in wild ungulates resulting from anthropogenic stressful events such as the capture or transport of specimens. There are, however, few published data on this issue due to predator attacks. The present report describes for the first time the capture myopathy syndrome in a Dwarf Red Brocket Mazama rufina following dog Canis familiaris attack. Clinical signs included pale mucous with increase capillary refill time, tachycardia, tachypnea, hypertension, hypothermia, hypoglycemia, and red brown urine. Muscle tremors, ataxia, prostration, paralysis, and opisthotonus were progressively observed. Laboratory tests showed increased levels of cortisol, creatinine, creatine kinase, lactate dehydrogenase, and potassium; decreased blood urea nitrogen-creatinine ratio; and myoglobinuria. The animal died 72 hours after hospital admission. At necropsy, findings included injuries on both hindlimbs with edema, emphysema, and soft-friable texture in affected muscles, dark kidneys and brown urine in bladder. Histopathological exams were indicative of skeletal-cardiac muscle degenerative lesions and myoglobinuric nephrosis. Immuno-histochemistry revealed myoglobin depletion in degenerate muscles and myoglobin accumulation in renal tissues. We strongly recommend that treatment for capture myopathy be initiated when a wild ungulate is admitted with history of predator attack, since the syndrome may have already established. This report adds to the instances of negative impacts caused by domestic dogs on threatened wildlife species.

Pesq. Vet. Bras. 33(11):1364-1370 The Brown brocket deer (Mazama gouazoubira) is the most common free-living and captive deer in South America, especially in Brazil, and has great ecological and scientific significance. However, data on hematological and biochemical parameters in brown brocket deer are scarce. The goal of this study was to establish reference ranges for hematological and biochemical parameters of Mazama gouazoubira, comparing differences during the seasons of the year and between sex. Blood samples from ten adult healthy brown brocket deer (6 female and 4 male) were collected during daytime, monthly, during 12 months. The animals were maintained in individual stable, protected from noise and fed ad libitum with commercial ration and green fodder. For blood collection, animals were submitted to physical restrain for no longer than 2 minutes. The following parameters were determined: red blood cell count (RBC), haemoglobin concentration, packed cell volume (PCV), mean corpuscular volume (MCV), mean corpuscular haemoglobin (MCH), mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration (MCHC), white blood cell count (WBC), platelet count, enzyme activity of alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT) and serum levels of alkaline phosphatase (ALP), creatine kinase (CK), total protein (TP), albumin, cholesterol, total calcium, ionic calcium, sodium, potassium, magnesium, triglycerides, creatinine and urea. Values were compared according to season and sex. RBC count, WBC count and MCV suggested seasonal influence. Haemoglobin concentration, PCV and MCV were influenced by sex. Serum concentration of total calcium, ionic calcium, sodium, potassium and magnesium were influenced by season. Serum magnesium was also influenced by sex. The blood parameters herein reported may be useful as reference values for diagnostic and prognostic purposes in captive brown--brocket deer.INDEX TERMS: Brown brocket deer, hematology, Mazama gouazoubira, seasonality, serum biochemistry.

“…Physical restraint in deer can lead to acute stress conditions, significantly increasing the total leukocytes in circulation due to catecholamine and glucocorticoid releases (Munerato et al 2010;Marco and Lavín 1999). Increased catecholamine and glucocorticoids result in lymphocyte destruction in the thymus cortex, stimulating the mobilization of neutrophils from the marginal pool to the circulation pool, prolonging neutrophil life in circulation, and affecting the higher ratio of neutrophils to lymphocytes (Kim et al 2005;Marco and Lavín 1999).…”

“…Animal handling factors also have a significant role in measuring physiological values in deer. Several studies found that deer under chemical immobilization showed changes in physiological and hematological parameters (Munerato et al 2010;Topal et al 2010). Generally, the chemical restraint with anesthetics agents is widely chosen to minimize the acute stress condition in deer (Caulkeet and Arnemo 2014).…”

Timor deer (Rusa timorensis) is native species in Indonesia that faces many threatening issues. Studies related to the health aspects of Timor deer are considered essential to provide some information related to deer health management in captivity. Deer handling procedures in captivity in Indonesia are commonly carried out with physical restraint. Physical restraint in animals is known to cause various changes in animals’ clinical and hematological values. This study aimed to determine the clinical and hematological parameters of Timor deer under physical restraint in captivity. This study used ten Timor deer that consisted of five stags and five hinds. The deer was positioned in a chute, then continued with the physical examination and blood sampling. Parameters observed in this study are clinical and hematological parameters. This study showed that clinical parameters of Timor deer under physical restraint have significant differences between sex groups, except for respiration rate parameters. Hematological parameters of physically restrained Timor deer did not show significant differences between sex groups, except for basophil parameters. This study concluded that physical restraint could affect the clinical and hematological parameters of Timor deer.

Abstract: Physical restraint and anesthesia affect some blood constituents in captive brown brocket deer, and midazolam premedication may modify the intensity of the stress response.
